DISMISSED MAIIKETIHG Continued from page l per pound on small retail sales. In some outlying sections, the retailer was paying $2.00 per bushel from the Boston dealer, anti at the end of the line was the Island producer with 40 cent tur- nips. Some dealers stated that ‘up to that time the deliveries were not beyond absorption point, but on being questioned regarding a weakening market could give no reasonable explanation. Such statements in view of market trends had io be accepted with re- servations. particularly in view of - heavy shipments recently leaving this Province. Quality Commended ‘The quality of our pack brought forth favorable comment, although sbme shippers it was stated could improve the pack," Mr. Shaw rc- ports. "Some criticism was also heard regarding deliveries, one buyer stating that the‘ time taken in transportation extended from three to nine days. This irregul- arity had a tendency to pile up foo many carioads on the market at one time, while at other times deliveries were aearee.“ Mr. Shaw felt that the whole sit- uation demanded improvements in organised movement to market, regularity of deliveries, improve- ment in the basis of settlement and merchandising regulations which would have the affect of establish- ing reasonable price levels, and the elimination of marketing prac- ilcea that are based on purely sel- fiah individualistic motives. The-co-operation of "dealers and producers is necessary. he thought. in order to bring about improve- ments la the turnip trade. Any developments in the way of con- trol muat be predicated on the basis of the beat interests of all concerned, and must be carefully thought out. Currency Problems Asked his-opinion he devalu- ation of currency. Mr, Shaw felt it is too early yet to assess this situation. “While some advantages will undoubtedly accrue to those who sell products below the line." he Ialdajfwe must not lose sight of the disadvantages that may be evident in the prices of gasoline. oils, fertilizers. may mat-rill! and many other products which may originate in U.S. points. The farmer is a large consumer of a wide variety of necessities and the effect of a three way rearrange- ment la currency is very hard Q predict at the preterit moment.

But the Geneva aeaetiatera were First class Island potatoes had strong competition to keep the limelight as skirts twlrled and pipes skirled at the opening of the annual potato festival in the Char- lottetown Forum last night. Approximately 1400 people crowded into the Forum last night to view the many exhibits and witness the old time fiddling, Highland fiinga and step dances. At regular intervals Al Blanchard and his Orchestra played modern music with Red I-lowstt doing the vocals. His Honour Lieutenant Governor J. A. Bernard declared the Festi- val officially open shortly after 8 o'clock. He expressed the hope that “much benefit will be derived from it bnd that it: will continue to be the great success which it so richly deserves." Following the opening address Mr. William Brown. master of ceremonies, started the evening's competition rolling by running off the dancing contest for juniors. This was followed by elimination step dancing contests for grown- ups and the fiddling competitions. Getting a richly deserved hand from the crowd was Mr. William McEachern, blind accordion and harmonica player. Mr. McEachern played one selection on the sc- cordion and three pieces on the harmonica. Miss Leola and Master George Weatherbie also got a great hand from the crowd for their playing of the fiddle and guitar. George was participating in the fiddling contest and was accompanied by Large Attendance At Potato Fiitiirai Opening his sister on the guitar. Displays of cars. trucks, trac- tors and other articles were shown. The PJLI. Fisheries Federation displayed several of their products, Stanley Shaw and Pearden ex- hiblted the use of propane gas in heating and cooking and Msrvens operated a booth. The. absence of Mr. Angus Chisholm, noted fiddler from Syd- ney proved to be a big disap- pointment. Mr. Chisholm left home to attend the opening but it was ihought he had encountered motor trouble. Officials expressed the hope that he would be on hand for tonight's entertainment. Fully deserving of the great ovation they received were the six little Hfghfield dancers. The co-or- dination and poise they display- ed gave evidencs of splendid train- g. Old time fiddling still rates highly as a means of spreading the air of friendliness and jolliiy around a gathering. This ivas borne out as several well-known artists beat out “Lord MacDonald's Reel" and other popular selec- lions. With the eliminations completed and several new fiddlers to par- ticipate tonight's entertainment should be top notch. Winding up the festival which the P.E.I.

Carreau said, Guay had asked if the youngster was “safe" and was willing to help with a “racket? The "racket" turned out to be a proposed visit to Mrs. Guay dur- ing which he was to offer her a couple of drinks of cherry wine with "poison" from the bag in it, Carreau related. Carreau said he asked Guay ,lf he were crazy and then refused to have anything to do with the poi- soning plan. The young needle-worker added that Guay then offered him $50 to “keep his mouth shut." and soon after the death of Mrs. Guay in the plane crash offered him $100 to "shut up" about what he knew. Mrs. Pitre Testifies Mrs. Arthur Pitre testified that Guay was in possession of the Z7- pound parcel, delivered by taxi to Quebec Airport and placed aboard the ill-fated Quebec Airways plane shortly before it took off and then crashed. A buzz of excitement went through the courtroom crowd when 41-year-old Mrs. Pltre. who has been charged with tempted sui- cide, was escorted by two police- men through a gathering at the entrance of the witness chamber. Mrs. Pitre, wearing a grey dress. a small black hat and a. black waist-length coat, delivered her testimony coolly. On her way to the witness box she tweaked the ear of a municipal police officer seated near the row of lawyers. Mrs. Pitre told of an excursion with a Mrs. Hector Parent to Samson ct Filion hardware store to buy 10 pounds of dynamite at Guay's request.

Air engineer Frank Francis of Vancouver said his examination of the plane wreckage some of it 2,400 feet away from the spot the main section of the plane was found indicated an explosion in the forward, left-hand luggage compartment. No other section of the plane had been “damaged as violently" as the luggage compartment, he said. Victor Duclos, 21-year-old lum- her man from Sault au Cochon, who heard an ex-plosion aboard the airliner before it crashed said he had gone to the scene of the ivreok and found that the victims‘ clothing gave off an odor of burn- ed powder, "like dynamite."

Alan Stewart, Provincial Minister of Agriculture, speaking to a Guard- ian representative regarding the surplus crops in the past two years. "l remember that two years ago last spring, Island farmers were paying $40 a ton for very poor quality hay at the tracks. Maybe next year will not be so good." Mr. Stewart said "I don't believe that. at the pres- ent price. it is worth while to sell the hay now anyway. Arid we have s. slackening market. One Island dealer was two days late with his shipment to the Boston market and aha price had dropped $2 In will? me". Mr. Stewart said It was difficult to get figures, but the crop looked particularly good this year from driving through the cou-ntry. “It has been a common sight in past years to see the stacks of old hay alongside the new. There's nothing wrong with that. Arid the farmer keeps his fertility on the farm when he keeps his hay," con- cluded the Minister. WAS DIPORTED OTTAWA.

MaePhereon d: Son Charlottetown Former Pianist At Local Spencer Theatre A Famous Entertainer The following item from the Saint John Telgraph-Journal will be of interest to many older mo- tion picture patrons here. Mr. Ket- lladze was pianist in the Prince Edward Theatre under Mr. Spen- car's auspices for several months: In December. 1923, a 20-year-old Russian named George Ketiladze arrived in Saint John by steam- ship and was detained by immig- ration officials. He was tall, handsome, an out- standing pianist and a magi ‘ and he spoke seven languages fluently. But he was not g farm laborer and he only had $21) in his pocket. in those days Canada was ad- mitting only farm laborers _ or people with enough funds to es- tablish themselves in business. Authorities told Ketiladze, a ref- ugee from the Soviets, that he'd have to go back to Europe by the next boat. Asked to Intervene Passengers on the same ship had heard him play, watched him perform, and were greatly impress- ed. One of them approached F.G. Spencer, of Saint John, music lov- er and theatre owner, and. asked him to intervene on Ketiladzeus behalf. Mr. Spencer listened to the young man at the piano, recogniz- ed his talent, wired the immigra- tion department at Ottawa. He un- dertook to assume responsibility for George Ketlladze and employ him as a pianist in one of his theatres. The first appeals were in vain but after an exchange of wires and letters that filled a thick folder, officials agreed not to deport Ket- iladze. The Russian played in theatres in Saint John, Charlotte- town, and elsewhere, ~saved his money, went to Queen's University and took a degree in engineering. Became Famous In U.S. Then he crossed the border to the United States, where he be- came, under the name of George Jason, not a famous engineer, but a famous entertainer _, a head- liner in high class vaudeville. The whole story came hack to Mr. Spencer when he received a letter from George Jason, telling him that on Wednesday of this week the long ago incident at Saint John had been dramatized on the "Believe it or Not" tele- vision show over a New York sta- tlon. lvlr. Jason appeared on the program himself. Mr. Jason wrote; "I. as you see, consider this epis- ode as the most important and wonderful turning point of my whole life. Needless to say that as far as I am concerned 1 dedic. ated the whole program to you."
